 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Blocking the Entry of Malign Actors Act

This bill requires the President to deny an individual's admission to the United States as a representative to the United Nations if the individual (1) engaged in espionage or terrorist activities against the United States or its allies, or (2) may pose a threat to U.S. national security interests. Currently, such a denial is only required if the individual meets both criteria.
